IF you thought you were coming down with a bad case of the midweek hump, fear not. Wednesday Jun 15 is National Beer Day. We thought that might put a smile on your face.

Glasgow is well known for its love of a cheeky pint, whether its hitting the pub with friends, colleagues or family. We go there on dates, to watch the game, to catch up. All over a glass of the cold stuff.

So why not join in the UK-wide celebrations for National Beer Day and sup on one of Glasgow's best pints.

West Brewery

Offering a huge range of Scottish premium beers, as well as favourites like St. Mungo and Munich Red, West has been a proudly independent brewery since 2006. The relaxed, friendly atmosphere and incredibly helpful and knowledgeable staff make for an all round satisfactory beer drinking experience.

Republic Bier Halle

With its long wooden benches and outstanding selection of beers, you would swear you were in the middle of Oktoberfest in Bavaria, not Glasgow city centre. They have endless bottles from just about every country in the world - you should definitely try as many as you can.

The Scotia

The oldest pub in Glasgow has been proudly pulling pints since 1792. Always home to some lively music nights and friendly regulars, this place feels like home from home. You can go down the traditional route and order a pint of heavy, or branch out and try their Camden Brewery or Brooklyn Lager stock.

The Lios Mor

Named after the small Hebridean island, this place keeps it old school with solid offerings of great beers and whiskies. A mix of traditional patrons and trendy students, you can come here and indulge in some live music and great chat. You can also pay tribute to the Highland Clearances when you use the bathroom ...

Drygate

This oh-so-trendy craft beer company have wasted no time in sorting out a brilliant beer garden and top-notch range of home brews. Part of the East End reconnaissance, it's definitely worth the trip out of the city centre. Try their core range of lagers, including Bearface, Outtaspace Apple and Gladeye IPA.

The Ben Nevis Bar

Part of the Finnieston set, The Ben Nevis shies away from any hipster pretence, serving up nothing but traditional whiskies and pints. They serve up Glasgow's own West beer. They find themselves nominated in the Scottish Bar of the Year awards for 2016, and it's not hard to see why.

The Laurieston

Don’t be fooled by it’s humble exterior, this pub is home to a great selection of real ales. The staff are only too happy to help you choose your poison. There’s even a proper old-fashioned juke box if you feel like cracking on some tunes to get the night going.

The Beer Cafe

There are a whopping 90 international beers on offer here. Everything from the latest Finnish, Greek and Lithuanian brews are available for you to try. And with the Euros on telly, what more of an excuse do you need to give your post-work pint an international twist?

Bon Accord

This place sells more than 800 different real ales a year. These beers come from areas all over the length andbreadth of the UK. There is also a great selection of international bottled beers, and a wide choice of lager on tap and more than 400 malt whiskies in the gantry.

The Horseshoe Bar

Always a favourite with locals and tourists, The Horseshoe is meant to be the longest bar in Europe. Serving up a cracking selection of hand-picked craft beers and ciders, including Little Creatures, Brewdog and Camden Hills, you'll not be short of a great pint and a good time.
